NORTH HAMPTON — The old adage "Timing is Everything" rang true for one local teacher recently.

Lisa Bean, a first-grade teacher at Sacred Heart School in Hampton, was this year's Extreme Classroom Makeover Contest winner at Brainwaves. Bean will have $200 to spend on new classroom materials at Brainwaves in North Hampton.

Bean's extensive inventory of classroom decoratives, books and general supplies was destroyed during last month's storm due to flooding in her basement. Her husband submitted a letter on Bean's behalf knowing that the $200 prize could help replace a portion of the items lost.

The Extreme Classroom Makeover contest is hosted annually by Brainwaves to show appreciation to area teachers and give one area classroom a big boost.

"Teachers spend a lot of their own money on their classrooms, and it's our way of rewarding their dedication," said Kevin Barnes of Brainwaves.

Fortunately, parents also appreciate the dedication of teachers.

"We see a lot of people coming in for teacher gifts or buying Brainwaves gift cards at this time of year," said Sheila Barnes. "People like the idea that they're giving a gift the teacher can really use".

Brainwaves is at 18 Lafayette Road in North Hampton. The store carries educational products for teachers and parents. They can be reached at 964-3040 or online at www.brainwaveslearning.com.
